BUSY ONLINE

By Grant Schneider

Education & Training with Performance Development Strategies

I never left the house today but I was busy online. I even forgot that is was St. Patrick's Day. Nothing is normal right now.

I am working on Zoom which is a great platform and helps you conduct online what you would do in person. These are two new uses for Zoom.

Teach a class. Almost all universities have gone to online instruction for the rest of the semester. I will be attempting to conduct my Saturday class as close to normal using zoom.

And BNI which is a weekly networking group. Here people come together in person give there presentations and bring guests to become potential member. BNI is going online for now and utilizing Zoom. It should work well based on test results in some areas. I will be interested in knowing what you think about BNI Online, Wayne and Jean Marie Zuhl !

But I like getting everything right and I have spent time on this today.

BNI Online One thing is still driving me crazy and I will continue working on it tomorrow. I can't get the speaker and participant panel to display on the side of the PowerPoint slides as you can see from the picture above. They are covering part of the PowerPoint. I know there is a solution. I won't give up.

Stay safe everyone

Wayne and Jean - I would like to know how that works out. I think they cancelled in White Plains.

Brian - I am quickly learned that this is the application of choice for conferencing.

Grant,

We are not all that fond of Zoom, we have been on several calls, and have had issues with it. I am glad you find it that it works for you. Hopefully, they will fix whatever you are having a problem with. A

Grant - good for you for using today's technology to work around our current situation!!! And I think it's a good time saver for the future. Think about the time we can save if you don't have to navigate traffic to attend a meeting.

Hi Grant:

I have not used Zoom yet but know a number of people who have, and love it. Good luck getting to the solution! I would think this would be great for your business!

A client of mine from last year runs the Call Center for Zoom and I keep telling him about the positive feedback I am hearing.

Hi Grant Schneider - This is part of making lemonade out of lemons. You are and will be continuing to improve your online skills to help your business. As I write this, you are probably teaching your class. I know you will do well with this new tech. You may want to think of getting another screen. I personally can't use more than one but my husband can't get along without two. In fact, he now has 3 screens. It is so helpful when we are having online conference calls. I wish you the very best with the class today.

I find myself taking care of tech nuisances that I have worked around for years in some cases. I have found as long as I don't need to talk to tech support (hours on hold) on the phone I can muddle through most things...

Happy Thursday Grant Schneider
